Chapter 168

Mary carefully pulled Sonia’s body and put it near Alina and the maid . She held her axe and looked around her to make sure that no enemies are attacking her .

’This position is relatively safe . ’

The female beastmen sighed and glanced at Arthur but he was still there, motionless . Taliya noticed Mary’s actions but she didn’t speak her thoughts, all her efforts are focused on protecting Alina along with Lucas, who was a bit further acting as a vanguard to push off anyone Gargoyle who tried to sneak attack them .

Esdik, albeit being injured, was still able to fight, he flew around the golem and landed near Uyo, who had a pale face as his hood was torn off earlier when the rotten hand touched him .

"Forget about the Golem and the book, reinforcements have come, we’ll kill the rest then deal with that guy . "

Esdik was obviously talking about Arthur . The Gargoyle stared at the two surviving warriors, who were still raging and killing small fries that are circling them .

They were strengthening every time they killed someone but the superior number of the Gargoyles put them at a big disadvantage . Apart from the two warriors, there was another group of fifty prisoners who were approaching Arthur as they knew he was their only savior, however, they weren’t spared either as someone of them each time the Gargoyles launched an attack . If it was not for the two raging warriors, who were focused by ninety percent of the enemies, this group of prisoners would have been obliterated long ago .

The Batallion Commander was reluctant to follow the orders of his superior, all of his senses were alerting him to retreat as he looked at the motionless Golem and the floating dark book .

Despite his hesitance, he still nodded his head to Esdik but all his body was soaking with cold sweat, he knew that the moment Arthur woke up or acted, none of them would survive . Secretly, he glanced to the North, where his home was and sighed . His hands gripped the long staff and his focused shifted back to the Golem, he was waiting for the reinforcement Esdik was talking about .

. . . .

Fortunately, he didn’t need to wait for a long time, merely twenty seconds later, just when one of the two remaining raging warriors succumbed to his injuries and was stabbed to death by dozens of spears, another wave of gargoyles rushed from the back .

Leading this big group were four shadows which were way faster than the rest . Three of them had a robe similar to Esdik while the latter didn’t cover her head . It was actually a female gargoyle, compared to the male gargoyles, she resembled more a female wood elf than a gargoyle .

Her cheeks had small stony scales and a long tail was swaying from her lower back . The female gargoyle arrived near Esdik in just a few seconds, a sword soaking with blood was held in her hand and there was a small slash injury on her shoulder where blood was leaking out and dying her green armor .

"Regiment Commander Esdik, we saw your signal, report what happened . "

Although she was talking to Esdik, her eyes locked on the Golem, who was towering and standing motionless near Arthur and the rest .

A look of relief flashed in Esdik’s eyes, he performed a quick military salute and spoke with a respectful tone

"Reporting to General! We found unknown enemies and tried to finish them but their powers were beyond of ours . "

Despite the fact that he was relieved to see the General, a sense of shame submerged him, his face turned slightly red as he spoke . It didn’t take a genius to see his condition, there was blood dying his rob, especially his abdomen and he was panting now and then .

. . .

General Rosie nodded her head and stared at the prisoners one by one, she didn’t ask Esdik who the enemies are, as long as they are enemies, she will finish them . She spared each prisoner a glance but apart from Vyncent, she didn’t focus on the rest . Her brows furrowed for a split second when she looked at Arthur but she then continued probing the rest . Excluding the fact that he was an Immortal, she was a bit surprised to see him in an unconscious state, the rest of the Immortals could only sense that Arthur was motionless with his eyes closed, but for someone with her power, she was able to sense that he was unconscious albeit his standing position .

It is quite a common thing that when you’re unconscious, in most cases at least, your body functions will cease, that doesn’t mean your heart will stop or you’ll die, it just means you’ll fall if you’re walking as you would not be able to control your body whilst being unconscious .

Rosie didn’t even inquire about who are the troublesome enemies, she remained silent for a couple of seconds before she lifted her sword and resolutely said

"Charge! Get rid of all of them!"

She was ordered one purpose and it was definitely not these guys that are going to stop her . The army that was following Rosie was not a mere hundred gargoyles, there were at the very least a thousand brown-robbed gargoyle dashing at the prisoners and Arthur .

Being the fastest amongst them, Rosie darted not at Arthur or the Golem, but the silent Vyncent, who was hiding in the center of the prisoners . The young man’s face paled as he saw the green-armored gargoyle charge at him . Without hesitation, he entered the Earth and disappeared from the crowd . It was but a mere second but the Immortal young man had crossed at least two hundred meters, his speed was even more outrageous than Rosie, who was also surprised by his speed .

Nonetheless, the surprise didn’t stop her charge, she lifted her free hand and punched the ground . From the force of the punch, the ground shook and dirt flew in the air, this punch caused the fleeing Vyncent to be pulled out from the ground and stumble on it for a few times before he quickly stabilized his body and try to enter it again .

Unfortunately for him, Rosie’s speed was not something that he expected, it’s as if it tripled compared to her previous charge . Before he could melt in the earth again, she appeared behind him and grabbed him by the back of his neck then mercilessly smashed his body on the flat ground .

Without being able to resist, Vyncent’s ribs were broken and blood oozed out his nose as he coughed blood nonstop . Rosie was just about the insert he sword on his back when Vyncent hurriedly waved his arms in desperation as he retrieved a certain object from his storage .

Rosie didn’t care at first and thought of it as the last struggle, but once her eyes saw the medal that the young man took, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes and the sword stopped a few inches away from his back .

No one knew what was happening but the witnesses could see that Rosie and Vyncent talked for a few seconds before she stepped back and rushed at the Golem .

She didn’t kill Vyncent and shifted her killing intent toward Arthur . She found the Golem strange and wanted to get rid of the Immortals first then take care of it .

Being a remote area of the Pigolo Tribe, no soldiers or strong officials came here so the thousands of gargoyles rushed at the prisoners and slaughtered without restraint . Mary and Taliya were not in a good position either as the crowd were going to attack them in any second .

Even with the presence of the Golem and the dark book, the head maid felt anxious as she saw the horde of enemies charging at them .

The three foremost figures were the three Regiment Commanders, they had a power equal to Esdik and were Immortal too, what’s more, is that the three of them seemed to ignore Alina and the weaklings and use their weapons to attack Arthur .

At such a desperate moment, a loud roar emitted from the motionless Golem . It was a chilling cold roar that terrified everyone, including Rosie, who was a few hundred meters away from it .

Although its orders were to protect Arthur’s friends, by instinct it knew that the top priority was its mastery albeit the fact that he didn’t order it to protect him . Seeing dangerous individuals aiming at its masters, it could no longer sit still and changed to the offensive .

The two black holes that were supposed to be its eyes shone with a bloody red light, which was followed by the book of the damned which opened by itself and emanated an extremely strong deadly aura .

The aura of death took the shape of a dense black liquid that flowed from the upside down book and instantaneously melted with the Golem’s rock hard body .

It was but a second but a that was all that took for the Death Golem to shine with a bloody red light, a red fog that blocked the vision of what’s inside it surrounded Alina, the golem and fifty meters around it, all that followed was a never-ending series of painful screams which came out of the mouth of the gargoyles . Rosie, who was rushing straight at the golem, felt a sense of fear and an inexplicable feeling stopping her from charging yet she didn’t stop and instead increased her speed .

Her bloody sword increased from 1 . 5 meters to 3 meters in length and a brilliant green shield was conjured on her left hand .
